ASPHALT STREETS
WILL BE REPAIRED
CITY OFFICIALS GET TOGETHER
AND REASON.
Mayor Molr Tells tho Councils Ho
Is Ready to Follow Their Sugges
tion, and the Councils Suggest
That Ho Proceed at Onco to Havo
the Barber Company Repair tho
Asphalt Paves Under tho Contract
as Modlilcd by Judge Gunster.
Nocessary Legislation Pledged,
Uy a vote of twenty-four to nine,
tho councils, last night, In Joint ses
slon, declared In favor of proceeding
nt once with tho repair of the asphalt
streets under the ten-year contract
with tho Barber company.
Thu session was colled by Mayor
Molr specially to consider this matter.
He sent the following message;
To the llonorablu the Select and Com
mon Councils.
Gentlemen: I havo deemed it my duty
to convene you In special session for the
purposo of considering tho condition of
our asphalted atieets, and the ijuickekt
and best way to put them lu pmpcr con
dition, und whether wo shall lcpalr thain
temporarily or permanently.
You aro conversant with tho several
methods proposed: First To fill all holes
In tho asphalt with a fine concrete, hs
has been proposid by tho sttcet com
missioner. This would secure safe driv
ing and would bo good for ono year ut
least; and at an outlay of $1,500. This
method would solve tho problem for tho
time being and should you decide to put
chaso a city plant would glvo jou time
to put tho samo In operation and plnco
funds nt your disposal to begin with.
This, In my estimation, is tho proper
und most economical solution to tho
present difllculty, tho evidence of Inter
ested parties to tho contrary, notwith
standing. Second To resurface all sticets In need
of repairs, advertise for bids for tho
same and apply to court for power to
mako a special levy and Issuo bonds to
pay for tho entire outlay ut once.
Third To proceed In tho way pro
posed In ordinance, file of common coun
cil No. 3t!, by letting It to tho Barber
Asphalt company to resurface and keep
In repair for ten years all asphalt streets
In tho city at nn annual outlay of $17,M0.
A contract was executed between tho
Barber Abphnlt company nnd the city
on this basis; tho matter was carried Into
tho courts, and the courts ruled that a
portion of said contract was Illegal nnd
Invalid.
It appears a second contract was dtawn
up and signed by my predecessor, but
kthls contract has disappeared, and now
I am urged to sign a thud contract be
tween tho above nameiT 'company and
the city.
This, I believe, I have no power to do;
It would be assuming too much on my
part without Instructions from you In
relation to tho snme. And further it ap
pears to mo that you ought to mako It
plain where tho money Is to meet any
contract that mny be mudo for repairs
of asphalt streets.
Tho Item nf $17,520 which appeared In
the appropriation ordinance 1S59, was
vetoed by Mayor Bailey and as I under
stand It, Is now in the general city fund.
This Item Is entirely at your disposal
and can bo used as you may deem beat,
Tho question Is now before you. Speedy
action ou your part Is imperative. It is
for you, gentlemem to legislate nnd
jour humble servant to execute.
Respectfully,
James Molr, Mayor.
Following the reading of tho mes
sage Mr. Chittenden Introduced this
resolution:
CHITTENDEN RESOLUTION.
That the mayor Is hereby authorized
and requested to notify the Barber as
phalt company to proceed at onco with
tho repairs under tho conditions named
In thu ordlnuuce und the contract us
modified by the decree of tho court.
In case of the non-compliance of tho
Barber Asphalt company with this no
tice and request, councils pledge them
selves to tho major tha vote of u ma
jority to such legislation as may bo
necessary to completo tho work. Pro
ldod, only, thut tho action of tho mayor
ana the Barber Asphult Paving com
pany is In accordance with tho ordinance
and bids already acted upon by councils.
Be It further rcioUed, that tho maj oi
ls authorized and requested to execute
contracts with tho Barber Asphalt Pav
ing company to conform to tho decree of
tho court and to take tho place of those
mislaid and which cannot be found.
Mr. MelIn offered ns a substitute a
resolution directing tho city solicitor
to take the matter into court in the
form of a. case stated to ascertain
whether or not the contract Is binding.
Mr. Chittenden seconded Mr. Mel
vln's motion to substitute, "Just to get
the matter before the house," as he
stated. "Thu whole thing ought to be
thoroughly discussed," ho added.
Mr. Chittenden then went on to say
that he was surpiised at his own posi
tion. Ho had fought the Barber con
tract and) favored a municipal plant,
but was now satisfied, that, under all
the circumstances of tho case, the best
thing to do would bo to proceed with
the repairs under tho Barber contract.
Concrete patching will not answer the
purpose, and a municipal repair plant
means a delay of six months even If
the $.'0,000 nocessary capital was with
in reach. In 'Wow of all this and the
fact that the city. In tho opinion of
tho best of our lawyers. Is liable under
the Baiber contract, the only course
left Is to carry out the terms of that
contract.
Mr. O'Boyle spoke in favor of Mr.
Melvln's resolution, saying tho matter
ought to bo tested in court and tem
porary repairs made In the meantime.
Mr. Sanderson read the decree of
Strawberries,
Fancy stock at 15c and 20c
per quart.
Home grown Asparagus,
Wax and Green Beans, now
Beets, Spinach, etc., fresh
every morning.
Sweet Oranges, $1.35 per box
Fancy Navels, $4.75 per box
Strawberries are now in
reach of all and are equal to
home grown.
E. G. GOURSEN,
Judge Gunster declaring that "all of
tho contract other than that referring
to asphalt repairs Is null and void,"
nnd explained that this meant that
tho contract was Illegal only so far an
It related to curbing and the like.
Court has puswed upon It once, he
said, nnd would not go Into It again.
As far as OK-Mnyor Halley's veto of
tho appropriation wns concerned, Mr.
Sanderson said, It Is perfectly certain
that It amounts to nothing. It Is a
mistaken Idea, ho also explained, that
Hip clt:' could go Into court nnd se
cure un older for a epoclnl levy to
meet tho expenses of a municipal re
pair plant. Tho only way a special
levy could bo made Is by tho vote of
the people. No court can permit n mu
nicipality to exceed Its constitutional
limit of Indebtedness nnd wo nro now
within a few thousands of that limit,
theie being Just about margin enough
" Permit of the contemplated nppro-
pilatlou for park Improvement
This ended the discussion. Tho vote
ou the motion to substitute- Mr. Mel
vln's resolution was as follows
Ayeo Selectmen Ro.xs, McInIii, Schnei
der and O'Boyle 1.
Commoners Walker. Phillips, T. F.
Morris and Norton -I.
Nays Selectmen Kearney. Thomas,
Roche. Chittenden, Shea, Sanderson, Kel

pin, Ruane, Zbselman, TewkHburj", Nns
cll. Harvey, Wenzfl. Watklns, Coleman,
Smith nnd Keller II.
Total ayes, S; total nays, 23.
Then the vote wns taken on the
Chittenden resolution requesting tho
mayor to havo tho Barber company
proceed with the repairs. It was sim
ilar to tho other, with the exception
that Chairman Williams changed to
tho minority In select council, making
the vote then ten to five. Tho resolu
tion wns declared carried.
Mr. Chittenden questioned whether
or not the lesolutlon had received tho
vote necessary to Its adoption. Chair
man Williams read the law which, In
brief, says a quorum of each bran;h
must be present and a measure must
recelvo a majority vote of each branch
to be adopted. The distinction be
tween "a majority of each branch" and
a "majority of tho members-elect of
each branch" was pointed out and
council adjourned.
CONSTABLE HELD IN BAIL.
Allowed a Much-Wanted Man to Get
Away from Him.
Constable R. M. Walker, of Fell
township, may know how things are
done In that section of the country, and
he does know In part how Alderman
Ruddj-, of the Twenty-fourth ward,
this city, does things. Ho was held in
$200 bail and given untl Saturday to
arrest Mchael McIIugh, of Bellevue,
whom he is charged with having al
lowed to escape from him while tnklncr
him (McIIugh) to Jail. Walker Is now
searching for the cause of his troubles.
Several weeks ago, Mrs. McIIugh,
wife of the above named much-wanted
man, furnished Information before Al
derman Ruddy for her husband's ar
rest, charging him with brutal Ill
treatment. McIIugh was arrested by
Constable Walker, In Fell township,
and brought here for a hearing. The
alderman committed McHugh to Jail
and Constable Walker started for that
Institution with him. It Is the old story
of "have a drink," a back window and
no prisoner. Constable Walker's arrest
followed.

Whooping Cough.
I had a llttlo boy who was neatly
dead from nn attack of whooping
cough. My neighbors recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I did
not think thnt any niedlcne would help
him, but after giving him a few doses
of that remedy I noticed an Improve
ment, nnd one bottlo cured him cn
tlrelj. It Is the best cough medicine I
ever hud In tho house. J. L. Mocie,
